Our downstream version does enable accessibility, that just hasn't
made it into the upstream port yet. We're still bringing things over
from before the port was upstreamed.

That said, I'm not sure why that feature was in our "No support planned"
section if it is primarily non-platform specific. I'll bring it up at our next
meeting to see if there's any reason we'd left it off.

Thanks,
